It was another defeat for Brentford this evening (Tuesday) as they lost out 3-2 at home against Sheffield United.

The Bees lost out for a sixth time in their last seven games, with Thomas Frank's side losing out by the odd goal in five in a pulsating contest.

And here's how Tom Storer rated the Brentford players at Griffin Park.

Daniel Bentley

Although the keeper was beaten three times, he was much improved on recent weeks. If it weren’t for two stunning saves to deny John Lundstram and David McGoldrick from close range in the opening 25 minutes, things could have been worse for the Bees. 7

Henrik Dalsgaard

The full-back had little impact going forward, often finding himself isolated on the right, and made some questionable decisions in defence. 5

Ezri Konsa

Konsa’s own goal made it 1-1 when the ball ricocheted off his head and flew into the net following a corner that was whipped in at pace. But, other than that, he performed well against United’s array of forwards and used the ball impressively. 7

The Welshman improved after a lacklustre first 45 minutes. He perhaps should have headed clear when the ball went over his head at the front post for United’s opener, but made some important tackles. 6

Yoann Barbet

Mepham and Konsa were furious with the left-back when he failed to stop Connor Washington’s cross that set up the Blades’ third goal. He was a poor deputy to Odubajo, who will likely reclaim his spot on Monday. 5

The midfielder was booked for a cynical 69th minute foul on John Fleck. He should have been marking Leon Clarke when the striker finished Washington’s cross for United’s third, and still looks vulnerable defensively. He was hauled off with 14 minutes to play. 5

Romaine Sawyers

The skipper brought back Brentford’s cutting edge after completing a suspension on Saturday. His first-time ball sent Maupay through for the Bees’ sixth minute opener and his cross from the right was deflected in by Fleck for the second. 9

Lewis Macleod

He’s lacked sharpness since coming back into the fold and, although he worked hard, he created little for the front three. 5

Sergi Canos

The winger tried to make things happen in the first half but his two efforts on goal sailed over the bar. He was replaced by Marcondes seven minutes after the break. 6

Alan Judge

Judge has been a decent stand-in for Said Benrahma and Ollie Watkins, but he can’t match their pace and creativity. He was involved in some good exchanges with Maupay and Canos but Thomas Frank will be itching to have his first-choice options back. He is a danger when he strikes with his right foot though, nearly finding the net twice in the last 10 minutes. 7

Neal Maupay

After scoring six minutes in, the Frenchman looked a frustrated figure for the remainder. Shortly before half-time he turned around and aggressively shouted at his team-mates for failing to press the Blades’ defence. He had few chances of note in the second half. 7

Substitutes:

Emiliano Marcondes

The Dane came on in the 53rd minute and showed off his quick feet with some bright touches. He almost feels like a new signing since returning from injury. 7

Moses Odubajo

Odubajo was a 76th minute substitute and filled in on the right. 6

Josh Dasilva

Also a 76th minute substitute, Dasilva tried to create openings but had little effect on the game. 6
